The construction of the road began in 2016 on the initiative of the Prime Minister Temir Sariev. A distinctive feature was a full financing of the project from the budget. A scandal broke out over the choice of the contractor. As a result, Zamirbek Aidarov, Minister of Transport and Roads, and Temir Sariev, head of the Cabinet itself, lost their posts.
It turned out later that there was no money for construction of the road in the budget. Long Hai employees regularly strike because of non-payment of wages.
